Abstract
Personal jewelry or other wearable electronic devices provide a visual, audio, vibration and/or tactile indication to the user when an incoming call, instant message, presence attribute change, calendar event or proximity reminder occurs. A personal area network mediates the incoming information and communicates it with one or more wearable devices associated with the user. The personal area network may communicate directly with other communication devices operated by the user, and also with networked devices via a gateway.
